are only sports today? Many people in Yahoo answer and around the internet are saying that Savate and Muay Thai cannot be considered true MA because they are only sports.FOR GODS SAKE,Muay Thai and savate originated as deadly self defense systems and though they are modified as sports today,they are still devastating combat systems regardless!The techniques are extremely practical to use in worst case scenarios situations where you are being assaulted!In fact their techniques are much more practical than many of the mainstream martial arts especially TKD and karate!How come many people think just because they are sports today they are not useless in street fights and that they can't be classified as martial arts?
